the trick is find someone that knows how to bleed brakes
 
Just put a little brake pedal on while removing the old switch to keep out as much air as possible.

A competent helper is helpful. Done quickly no air enters sensor threads opening. Makes bleeding almost unnecessary. Top off master cylinder.
 
thanks for your reply the most sensible one yet
